As both an experienced NHS palliative care doctor and a hugely talented writer, Rachel’s books have been a fascinating insight into hospital life. Dear Life was a Sunday Times bestseller and Breathtaking became an acclaimed television series about the Covid-19 epidemic. Now The Story of a Heart movingly recounts how a nine-year-old road accident victim’s heart is transplanted to another child suffering from a virus causing his heart to fail.
